Raheem Sterling: Man Utd will face angry Man City

Raheem Sterling says Manchester United will face an "angry" Manchester City in tonight's derby.

Pep Guardiola told his City players to use the anger from their agonising Champions League exit to Tottenham to fire up their push to win back-to-back titles.

Sterling said: “Pep told us to be angry the day after. But on the match-day, make sure you're ready and focused.

"We work so hard all season, travelling miles and miles, to be in this position — and to lose in that way was hard to take.

“But there are four games to go — five including the Watford one [in the FA Cup Final]. If someone said that at the start of the season we'd bite their hand off and play these games [for a never-done-before domestic Treble]. It's a great position to be in, something if we don't do we'll be very disappointed in ourselves."
